SETI Talks: Mysterious Radio Signals in the Milky Way

[@davidl.callahan]

Reminds me of a saying; "The more questions you answer, the more questions you have." Enjoyed this program, thank you.

[@orgbortondave6539]

Detailed yet easy to understand your explanation of radio astronomy. Intriguing and somewhat unnerving info. WOW. WOW.

[@LuciFeric137]

Excellent. SETI is really doing some great work. This program was so good i couldnt stop viewing. I was riveted. Fascinating. I even liked the Q and A, which i usually skip. Great presenters.

A very beautiful work. In far future our descendants will probably say: " SETI research became a full-fledged branch of science in the 21st century."

[@StephenAntKneeBk5]

Very good and fascinating presentation.. Good luck to Tara Murphy and her colleagues around the world. :-) Thanks SETI.

[@09Ateam]

The radio telescope that found the WOW signal also found mysterious signals they called 'bumps in the night' from the direction of the galactic plane. Perhaps the phenomenon is related.

Any chance that the new JWST could be aimed at the location of where these signals are originating from to see if any detection of life might be found?

[@peterrowe6055]

I was wondering how much collaboration there is among radio astronomers, optical astronomers and the various space telescopes. The JWST may provide a very interesting truthing mechanism for some of these anomalous signals.

[@joannadziaduch2138]

JWST will most likely be directed at Trappist system first - and hopefully we get advised of the findings - I am also trying to get answers why some of the data is to be classified and to date to no avail

[@WizardofoOZeAU]

the published policy of the JWST team. - all images and other observation data will be published. - for images in the General Observer program (i.e. observation requests from astronomers) there will be a period of exclusive access, usually 6-12 months. These images will still be stored on MAST but during the exclusive access period, you need to log in to access them; access is limited to the requesting astronomer. After the exclusive access period everyone will have access to the images.@@joannadziaduch2138

[@upupuptheziggurat.liketysplit]

You have to be scientific with these things! The SKA mentioned, will give hopefully us a lot more latitude to search for potentially intelligent signals. I also tend to agree with the comment that any signal would, most likely, be distinct, from what we have seen so far. Either showing some form of compression in the way the signal modulates over the length of emission or otherwise being blatantly simplified, from alien mind to alien mind....;) Always good to see, Thanks guys!

Did you know Cosmic Radio Signals can be polarized at 91mhz (fm radio); 160mhz (vhf radio ); 610 MHz ( on channel 78 uhf-TV) by keying a CB Microphone over a radio receiver set on these radio channels with your home equipment. These are known cosmic radio sources from outer space, 25mhz natural Source, 91 MHz unknown source from the Constellation Sagittarius , 160mhz Unknown source, 440 kHz, 1440 MHz and many others from Annual Review of Astrophysics and Astronomy 1966 editor Leo Goldberg. Facts: A lot of the static snow that you receive is your non-cable Uhf TV; is cosmic radio signals......many elements naturally emit radio pulses where excited; You can polarize these signals with CB radio Microphone by keying the transmitting CB microphone over the speaker of a receiving radio set at 91 mhz..(91fm)..160 MHz..(160 vhf radio)..and transmit the spacey sound you hear to a receiving TV set at channel 78 UHF tv.....then you will see a ATT type of symbol..and see the oscillations and fluctuations of the cosmic radio signal that has been just polarized and hear strange 1960s Star Trek spacey sounds, ( I think scientist playing around with 195s electronic equipment radio and TV made some odd findings, like the ATT symbol ( world with stripes ) the CBS electron gun inspired the 1950s CBS eye logo, and those 1960 Star Trek sound effects...the odds are in our favor.we are receiving artificially generated radio Signals...I think 91 MHz FM radio and 160 MHz VHF radio is artificially generated...remember the old national weather radio station was at 162 MHz VHF radio. WOW signal In a 1959 paper, Cornell University physicists Philip Morrison and Giuseppe Cocconi had speculated that any extraterrestrial civilization attempting to communicate via radio signals might do so using a frequency of 1420 megahertz (21-centimeter spectral line), which is naturally emitted by hydrogen, the most common element in the universe and therefore likely familiar to all technologically advanced civilizations.[4] In 1973, after completing an extensive survey of extragalactic radio sources, Ohio State University assigned the now-defunct Ohio State University Radio Observatory (nicknamed "Big Ear") to the scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), in the longest-running program of this kind in history.[5] The radio telescope was located near the Perkins Observatory on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio.[6][7] By 1977, Ehman was working at the SETI project as a volunteer; his job involved analyzing by hand large amounts of data processed by an IBM 1130 computer and recorded on line printer paper. While perusing data collected on August 15 at 22:16 EDT (02:16 UTC), he spotted a series of values of signal intensity and frequency that left him and his colleagues astonished.[4] The event was later documented in technical detail by the observatory's director.[8]

Simon, at beginning: Your camera is too close. But on the plus side, your lighting is nice and diffuse, keeping your face from being too shiny-a common mistake.

[@NowPleaseReadThis]

Regarding SETI: Those antennaes they use must be very sensitive to even the faintest of signals, that given; I wonder if the continually broadcast streams of the signals beaming out from our civilization here on Earth may be reflected off of distant objects back to the SETI antennaes? They could be reflected from multiple celestial objects while they themselves are moving in clockwork order in relation to each other and thus create faint signals apparently unique and rhythmic but also unidentifiable as our own due to the cacaphony we project, and the distortion from having traveled a vast distance through space and back again. The pattern of variance could seem mathematic and thus intelligent to us even though it is the variance of the reflecting objects to each other. Even only one of our millions of sigals from Earth would be reflected from many celestial objects with untold timeline/varying distances of travel back to us even though originally they all eminated from our world at the same instant. Anyone have any thoughts on that? I'm sure they must have already thought of that but I've not seen any info on this possibility. This could really confound our search for extra-celestial life. Also close to home,to what extent do all our satellites effect the gathering of distant radio signals, especially now with the orbital pollution of the Starlink grid.

[@christianarcano9212]

Seems that the goal is always to rule out natural events. How far is the source of anomalous signal? If it is too far, is it far from the past?

[@MrSparker95]

I wouldn't discard all wideband signals as non-interesting. We have also come to usage of wideband signals such at bluetooth (random frequency hopping) and LTE (multiple subcarriers each having their own data streams). Or course these signals are dictated by properties of the medium where they are used, such as multiple users accessing same channel or multi-path propagation. Still, who knows what reasons might aliens have to use wideband signals?

[@gooberclown]

If aliens think big, they may use wide bandwidths.

Why is it "better" to see two _women_ presenting?? Don't you want to be listening to the absolute smartest people on the subject, whether they're male or female??? If the most knowledgeable people on a subject end up being female, that's cool! But if they end up being male, why is that "worse" (or at least "not better") to you??? Are you truly SO shallow, superficial, and closed-minded that the most important thing to you is what genitals a given speaker has in between their legs, not the knowledge that speaker can present to you? If the former is more important to you than the latter, I'm really sorry to say this, but you're making our world much, much, *MUCH* dumber. "Equality", right? lol.

@@chuck1135 Historically society has assigned roles based on gender. It has meant that both men and women have been pushed into or kept out of roles not depending on passion or ability but according to gender. It's quite heartening to see women scientists as this suggests some of these damaging, restrictive ways of ordering society are becoming less prevalent. Does that help with your confusion?

SETI has been around a long time why is it that we have not been able to pick up other planets like earth. I would assume that we are the only form of life in space. How do we know that the signals from space aren't picking up the junk that is around our earth?

[@davecarsley8773]

It's called being "intelligent" and using "science". We eliminate all possibilities of terrestrial interference before we declare anything to be extraterrestrial. By the way, SETI isn't looking for "planets like earth".... at all. They're looking for radio signals-- that's it. Honestly, it's extremely closed-minded to assume that any other intelligent life in the universe MUST use the *exact* same methods of communication that _we_ use or they simply don't exist.

[@zackbarkley7593]

Its been known for a few decades, that maximizing channel capacity over a broadband channel is...in the limit... indistinguishable from white noise. We may not be able to eavesdrop on signals of alien races if they are even a few decades more advanced than our own...if they didnt want it. It may be possible to eavesdrop on industrial civilizations at our level (100-200 year time window) but since our most powerful radiotelescopes could not easily pick up an alien version of i luv lucy even from our nearest star...alpha centauri...i think the jury is still out whether we yet have the technology to rule out alien civilizations. Unless we get lucky with a talkative sentience..we would need massive radiotelescopes on the moons far side to eavesdrop on alien signals in our galaxy and exclude the probably likely possibility of other civilizations. Such knowledge...even from civilizations roughly at our level...could be a huge boon to technological and political growth..as they would have developed technologies different than our own and just even knowing they are possible would create incentive and funding to rediscover them. How to avoid nuclear and environmental catastrophe would also be very useful knowledge.
